3) Interviewers Need To Work On A Young Adult Survey In the Bay AreaWe are hiring research assistants for short term work with a UCSF health survey of Bay Area (SF and Alameda county) young adults. This is a multi-mode survey (mail, phone and face-to-face) for which we will need to hire approximately 10 survey interviewers(research assistants) in the coming weeks to conduct the interviews and help us with survey prep/implementation and possibly data reduction.

The ideal candidates will be people in the 18-26 year old age range (they have to be at least 18) from diverse backgrounds who are interested in gaining research experience. If you speak a language common to people in the Bay Area (e.g. Spanish, Cantonese, Vietnamese), that would be wonderful (though not a requirement).

I am looking to hire people who can work with us for 15-40 hours/week starting at the beginning of November and who are available to work until at least mid-December. The hourly wage is $11.50. There will be a required (paid) 3-day interviewer training at the beginning of November, and we expect to begin field work, i.e. telephone interviewing followed by face-to-face interviewing shortly thereafter.

As we approach Thanksgiving, we would like to acknowledge the circumstances and needs that may arise for students during this holiday. We know some students are not able to go home due to financial constraints and find themselves during the four day break with limited resources for necessities like food.

Fortunately, there are free and low cost food options available near campus. The Financial Aid Office can also process emergency, no-interest loans which can be used for food (more information at http://students.berkeley.edu/finaid/undergraduates/eloans.htm).In addition, if you feel comfortable doing so, you might want to reach out to others for support. Most people are happy to have an extra dinner guest or share a bag of groceries with a friend.

Please try to plan ahead. If you have meal plan points, consider picking up essentials at the Bear Market before the break. Or if you have cash, please shop for healthy low-cost items at the local grocery stores. Remember, many places are closed on Thanksgiving Day, so try not to wait until that Thursday to think about your food situation.
